LOCATION: West Elgin Municipal Building 22413 Hoskins Line north of the Village of Rodney. PURPOSE: To consider an amendment t4 the Zoning By -law to permit an open air rodeo event for up to three days on lands not zoned for such purposes. The proposed amendment would permit the staging of an event described as the The West Elgin Dodge Rodeo' on lands situated on the south side of Downie Line west of Graham Road, being part of Lot 16, Concession VII. The event is proposed to take place over a three -day period, being July 22 to July 24` 2011. A similar event was hosted at the same location in 2010. The subject parcel, owned by Kenneth Catherine Neil, comprises an area of 19 hectares (47 acres) and a frontage of 299 metres (980 ft) on Downie Line adjacent to Highway No. 401. The parcel is occupied by a single unit dwelling (being the residence of the owners) and various farm buildings and structures. It has been cleared for agricultural purposes with the exception of a woodlot occupying the southerly portion of the farm. The rodeo would be held on the northwesterly portion of the parcel to the west of the existing dwelling and occupy an area of approximately 4 hectares (10 acres). Events include open -air rodeo performances, vendors, beer gardens, and dance events. No permanent buildings or structures are proposed. The lands are zoned Agricultural (Al). Permitted uses include an agricultural use, riding school, forestry use, home occupation, single unit dwelling, bed and breakfast establishment and an accessory use. Commercial uses, unless they otherwise qualify as a 'home occupation' or as a 'bed and breakfast establishment', are not permitted. The proposed temporary use by -law would permit the event subject to it being confined to the above -noted dates notwithstanding the Agricultural (Al) zoning of the lands which would otherwise remain in effect. The subject lands are designated 'Agricultural' in the Township of Aldborough Official Plan. ATTACHED TO THIS NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING is a key map showing the location of the subject lands. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and /or make a written or verbal representation either in support of, or in opposition to, the proposed amendment. IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Council of the Municipality of West Elgin before the by -law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the Municipality of West Elgin to the Ontario Municipal Board. IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Council of the Municipality of West Elgin before the by -law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed amendment is available from Norma Bryant at the Municipal Building or from the Municipal Planner, Mr. Ted Halwa, at (519) 963 -1028 (London, Ontario).

LOCATION: West Elgin Municipal Building 22413 Hoskins Line north of the Village of Rodney. PURPOSE: To consider a proposed amendment to the Zoning By -law to legalize and permit the continued use of a seasonal dwelling (cottage) erected on lands not zoned for such purposes. The proposed amendment would change the zoning of the lands lying on the shore of Lake Erie south of Gray Line and west of Port Glasgow, comprising part of Lot 4, Concession XIV, from the Agricultural (A1) Zone to a `site specific' Lakeshore Residential (LR-#) Zone. The lands proposed to be rezoned `site- specific' Lakeshore Residential (LR-#) comprise a long narrow parcel abutting the Lake Erie shoreline and without frontage on a public road. The parcel is occupied by a recently constructed two- storey single unit dwelling overlooking the lake. The dwelling has been placed on a foundation, however, the owner has satisfied the Lower Thames Conservation Authority that it is readily capable of being moved should it be threatened by erosion of the shoreline bluff. Access to the parcel is gained through the abutting trailer park, Hickory Grove, to the west. A right -of -way providing legal access to the parcel from Gray Line along the westerly limit of Lot 4 is overgrown and is unusable as an access in its current condition. A number of provisions contained in the Zoning By -law and the LR zone in particular need to be addressed to achieve compliance with the By -law. No buildings or structures are permitted on hazard lands (Section 4.12) and no buildings or structures are permitted closer than 100 metres from the 1:100 year erosion limit of Lake Erie (Section 4.14). A building may only be erected on a lot if it abuts or fronts on an improved street public road (Section 4.5 and Section 4.10). Existing lots must have a minimum frontage of 15 metres on a public road where a dwelling is erected and must satisfy all other requirements (e.g. setbacks) of the By -law (Section 4.7). The standards of the LR zone pertaining to front yard depth (10 m), rear yard depth (10 m) and minimum floor area (100 sq m) are not capable of being satisfied. The proposed `site specific' LR -f# zoning would address these and any other deficiencies to allow the dwelling to remain and continue to be used on a seasonal basis. The subject lands are designated `Lakeshore Recreation' in the Township of Aldborough Official Plan. ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and /or make a written or verbal representation either in support of, or in opposition to, the proposed amendment. iF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY that files an appeal of a decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of West Elgin in respect of the proposed zoning by -law does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of West Elgin before the proposed zoning by -law is adopted, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the appeal. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the proposed amendment is available between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the Municipal Office or from the Municipal Planner, Mr. Ted Halwe, at (519) 953 -1028 (London, Ontario). THE information and material required under Sections 34(10.1) and 34(10.2) of the Planning Act have been provided and this shall serve as sufficient notice of same under Section 34 (10.4) of the Act.

In 2010, the West Elgin Dodge Rodeo was staged from July 23 to July 25 In 2011, the event is being staged from July 22 to July 24 The by-- law has been drafted accordingly. The location and approximate dimensions of the area lying to the west and south of the existing dwelling and farm buildings which is proposed to be used for the purposes of staging the open air rodeo event has not changed. The area comprises approximately 4.1 hectares (10 acres). There has been, to our knowledge, no reported complaints received by the Municipality regarding the previous rodeo event staged at this location. No additional information has been provided suggesting any issues with respect to negative impacts on abutting roads and/or properties. The By -law, as drafted, would be in effect until 25 July 2011 after which the permission to stage the event would expire. If a similar event is contemplated in 2012, another temporary use by -law would be required. Dan W. Smith, MA enclosure TEMPORARY USE BY -LAW BY -LAW NO.

MAYOR CLERK 22 November, 2010 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of Council Municipality of West Elgin FROM: Ted L. Halwa SUBJ: Application for an Amendment to the Zoning By -law: Lou Nirta (Agent: Knutson Development Consultants) part of Lot 4, Concession XIV —on the south shore of Lake Erie south of Gray Line west of Port Glasgow 1. PURPOSE to consider a proposed amendment to the Township of Aldborough Zoning By -law to permit (and, therefore, legalize) the existence and use of a `seasonal dwelling' (cottage) erected on lands not otherwise permitted based on the provisions of the Zoning Bylaw. 2. SITE CHARACTERISTICS #0008/1968 the subject lands comprise a long narrow parcel abutting the Lake Erie shoreline. The lands have been essentially cleared of vegetation and are characterized by the presence of a high, eroding bluff running more or Tess parallel to the shoreline; a the area of the entire parcel has been calculated at 7.8 hectares (19.3 acres) by a recently cdmpleted survey undertaken by the owner (2010). The portion of the parcel Tying above the top-of -bank has been surveyed to comprise 4.9 hectares (12.1 acres). The parcel does not have frontage on a public road. Based on the information provided, the lot was created in 1923 prior to any municipal or provincial approval being required; a 10 metre (33 ft) wide by 231 m (758.3 ft) long right -of -way intended, it would seem, for providing legal access to the parcel from Gray Line along the westerly limit of Lot 4 was established on title in 1942. The right -of -way, however, is wooded and overgrown and a number of trailers and related structures associated with Hickory Grove Trailer Park encroach onto it. As a result, the right -of -way is unusable as an access to the parcel; e47, Application for Zoning By=law Amendment— Lou Nirta Part of Lot 4, Con XIV Municipality of West Elgin 22 November2010 page 2 #O @OS/1968 rather, access to the parcel is gained through the abutting trailer park, Hickory Grove, to the west by what has been described by Mr. Ric Knutson, the applicant's Planner and Agent, as a 'gentlemen's agreement' between Mr. Nirta and the owner of the trailer park in acknowledgement that the right -of -way is at least partially obstructed by the aforementioned trailers and related structures associated with Hickory Grove; the parcel is occupied by a one and a half storey wood -frame and sided dwelling (described as a cottage or seasonal dwelling) overlooking the lake and a small storage shed. Based on the aforementioned survey, the dwelling is located 43.5 m (142 ft) from the top -of -bank (November 3, 2010). The shed is set further back behind the dwelling. The dwelling has evidently been placed on a steel 'I -Beam' foundation to facilitate it being moved if and when necessary as a result of the eroding bank. The dwelling was erected without a building permit from the Municipality or a permit, as required, from the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority; neighbouring lands are characterized by agricultural lands and woodlands to the north, Hickory Grove Trailer Park to the west and woodlands to the east. To the south lies Lake Erie, 3. ANALYSIS 9 in considering the Application for an Amendment to the Zoning By -law, the following needs to be recognized: I) the fact that the aforesaid dwelling exists on the subject lands is irrelevant to evaluating the merits of the application unless the erection of the dwelling pre -dated the Zoning By -law and constitutes a non- conforming building which it does not; ii) the fact the owner /applicant erected the dwelling without a building permit and contrary to the Zoning By -law does not, in an of itself, preclude him from applying for an amendment to the Zoning By -law to permit the said dwelling in compliance with the By -law and to receive a fair hearing without being prejudiced for such actions; iii) the fact that the owner /applicant was convicted of erecting the dwelling contrary to the provisions of the Zoning By -law and without a building permit from the Municipality is similarly irrelevant to evaluating and making Application for Zoning 13y -law Ammo!met e- Lou Nir& Part of Lot 4, Con X1V Municipality of West Elgin 22 November 2010 page 3 a decision upon the merits of the application. in evaluating the merits of the Application, consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), conformity with the Township of Aldborough Official Plan, compliance with the requirements of the Zoning Sy -law and satisfying the requirements of the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority are key considerations; given the location of the subject lands, the following statements in the PPS are relevant: Healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by...avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns (Section 1.1.1) Development shall generally be directed to areas out side of hazardous lands adjacent to the shorelines of the Great Lakes which are impacted by flooding hazards, erosion hazards and /or dynamic beach hazards. (Section 3.1.1) 40000/1968 development and site alteration may be permitted in those portions of hazardous lands and hazardous sites where the effects and risk to public safety are minor so as to be managed or mitigated in accordance with provincial standards, as determined by the demonstration and achievement of the following: a) development and site alteration is carried out in accordance with floodproofing standards, protection works standards, and access standards; b) vehicles and people have a way safely entering and exiting the area during times of flooding, erosion and other emergencies; c) new hazards are not created and existing hazards are not aggravated; and d) no adverse environmental impacts will result ...............(Section 3.1.6) although the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority ultimately issued a permit to the owner /applicant thereby, in effect, implying consistency with subsection a), c) and d) of Section 3.1.6 of the PPS, it has indicated it would not issue such a permit under the same or, for all intents and purposes, similar set of conditions either on the subject lands or elsewhere along the shoreline if construction of the dwelling had not already taken place. Subsection b) regarding safe access would be physically satisfied although not legally satisfied; in terms of establishing conformity with the Township of Aldborough Official Plan (the Official plan in effect) the subject lands are designated 'Lakeshore Recreation'. Seasonal and year -round residential development is permitted subject to certain criteria, including: Application for Zoning Bylaw A rnendment Lou dirks Part of Lot 4, Con XIV Municipality of West Elgin 22 November2010 page 4 #0008/9968 -well drained, stable sites; compatibility with m. ghbouring uses; availability of vehicular access; compliance with the requirements of the Zoning By -law (frontage, depth, size); adequacy of services; adequacy of road maintenance, fire protection, police protection, garbage disposal, school busing where year round occupancy is proposed; (Section 2.7.2) based on the information provided, the site is not considered stable, it being well within the LTVCA's 'critically regulated area' along the Lake Erie shoreline of 124 m (406.8 ft.) from the toe -of- the -slope plus an additional 15 m (50 ft.) equivalent to the 'stable slope allowance' (Figure 1). Vehicular access is not available in the customary sense and a number of provisions of the Zoning By law are not complied with the latter of which are addressed later in this report. Adequacy of services (i.e. water supply and sanitary waste disposal needs to be determined; o the lands are also subject to an overlay 'Hazard Land' constraint under the Official Plan. Within these areas, it is the policy of that Plan that the Municipality essentially relies on the advice of the LTVCA before permitting any building, structure or additions thereto. As reported above, the Authority has issued the necessary permit with conditions to the owner /applicant to comply with its regulations. On the other hand, the Authority has advised that it would not have issued the necessary permit had the subject dwelling not have been erected at the time the permit was applied for; the subject lands are zoned Agricultural (A1). A number of provisions contained in the Zoning By -faw need to be addressed to achieve compliance with the By -law. They include: i) no buildings or structures are permitted on hazard lands (Section 4.12) and no buildings or structures are permitted closer than 100 metres from the 1:100 year erosion limit of Lake Erie (Section 4.14); ii) a building may only be erected on a lot if it abuts or fronts on an improved street public road (Section 4.5 and Section 4.10); Application for Zoning lavrr Amendment- Lou Nita Part of Lot 4, Con XIV Municipality of West Elgin 22 November 2010 page 5 #0008/1968 iii) existing lots must have a minim wm frontage of 15_ Ares on a public road where a dwelling is erected and must satisfy all other requirements (e.g. setbacks) of the By -law (Section 4.7); iv) minimum standards of the LR zone pertaining to front yard depth (10 m), side yard width, (4.5 m) and rear yard depth (10 m) are not capable of being satisfied insofar as the lot does not have a front line i.e. the line dividing the lot form the street (or public road) and, therefore, technically a front yard, side yard or rear yard; v) minimum floor area of a dwelling under the LR zone is 100 sq. m. The subject dwelling has a ground floor area of less than 40 sq m. to address these deficiencies and to provide appropriate regulations, a 'site specific' Lakeshore Residential (LR- has been applied for to permit a 'seasonal dwelling' on a lot without frontage on a public road, a maximum lot coverage of 1%, a minimum side yard width of 30 m, a minimum rear yard depth of 10 m, a maximum height of 10.5 m and a minimum floor area of 40 sq m. The minimum front yard depth is contemplated as being the setback required (i.e. as prescribed by permit) by the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority from the top of -bank. It is suggested that the LR-# zone contain a special use regulation requiring that the dwelling be constructed in a manner whereby it could be re- located, if required, although it is further suggested this could be addressed as part of the definition of 'seasonal dwelling'; in terms of minimum setbacks, the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority has been satisfied that the dwelling is moveable and provided the dwelling is maintained at ail times a minimum of 30 m from the top -of- bank of Lake Erie, the Authority is able to support retaining the dwelling in its present location subject to a number of conditions set out in its approval; in terms of access over the aforementioned registered right -of -way as opposed to an abutting public road, there have been at least two instances where this has been permitted by the Municipality in the past [I.e. Canada Southern Railways (part Lot B, Con VII) and Christopher Sandra Leys (part Lot 17, Con 111)]; Application for Zoning By -bw Aaaaenolinend— Lou Niriaa Part of Lot 4, Con X!V Municipality of West Elgin 22 November 2010 page 6 #0003/1960 Mr. Knutson has suggested (letter dated 12 November 2010) that the lands be subject to site plan control primarily as a means to reviru and regulate the location of the 'seasonal dwelling' relative to the active erosion of the top -of -bank. Single unit dwellings are, however, exempt from site plan control in the Municipality; in the event Council is disposed to giving favourable consideration to the adoption of an amending by -law to `legalize' the dwelling in the context of the Zoning By -law, the Municipal Solicitor advises that a `save harmless' agreement with the applicant/owner and registration on title to absolve the Municipality of any responsibility in the event the dwelling is damaged or destroyed due to erosion of the bank be required. He also advises the owner /applicant be required to provide a certificate from a professional engineer that the dwelling has been constructed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code; from a planning perspective, we could only support an amendment to the Zoning By -law in this instance if the owner /applicant were to be able to firstly, acquire sufficient lands from the abutting property owner to the north to meet the required setback (Le. dwelling and shed relocated to a site outside LTVCA's 'critically regulated area' plus stable slope allowance) and secondly, obtain the necessary approvals and undertake the necessary improvements to provide access to the subject lands via the aforementioned right -of -way in his favour running along the westerly limit of Lot 4, Con XIV. RECOMMENDATION That the Application for an Amendment to the Zoning By-law by Lou Nirta to change the zoning of part of Lot 4, Concession XIV in the former Township of Aldborough, from the Agricultural (Al) Zone to a `site- specific' Lakeshore Residential (LR-#) Zone to permit a `seasonal dwelling' be refused. Reasons 1. The necessary approval from the Lower Thames Conservation Authority would not have been given had the dwelling not been erected prior to making application for the necessary approvals. 2. Proposals to erect similarly sized and constructed 'seasonal dwellings' along the Lake Erie shoreline below the LTVCA's `critically regulated area' plus stable slope allowance in the Municipality would not be approved by the LTVCA; Application for Zoning By law Amendment Lou Nirta Part of Lot 4, Con kV Municipality of West Elgin 22 November 2010 page 7 3. Accepting the Application and adopting the necessary by-law would constitute, in effect, an unwarranted precedent for others who would otherwise be refused unless they built first and applied for compliance with the Zoniry By-law after. original signed by Ted L.

Halwa SUBJ: Proposed Severance Elizabeth Wojcik 9037 Graham Road Part of Lot 18, Concession XIII west side of Graham Road (County Road No. 76) south of Talbot Road (County Road No. 3) 1. Purpose 83 to create a lot out of a 31.7 hectare (78.4 acre) parcel for the purpose of disposing a surplus farm dwelling; the lands proposed to be conveyed have and area of 29.2 hectares (72 acres) and a frontage of 148 metres (486 feet) on Talbot Line. The parcel is occupied by a single unit dwelling and several outbuildings and has been cleared extensively for agricultural purposes. The owner intends to sell the lands to Hoilanada Farms Ltd., being a long established farm operation in the Municipality. No change in use is proposed; the lands being retained have an area of 2.5 hectares (6.3 acres), a frontage of 164 metres (541 ft) and a depth of 154 metres (505 ft). The parcel is occupied by an older single unit dwelling (erected circa 1930) and a shed. The rear portion of the parcel comprises bush and wetland. No change in use is proposed. The owner intends to reside in the dwelling for the foreseeable future; neighbouring lands comprise a mix of agricultural uses, primarily cash crop, interspersed with scattered residential Tots. Residential development associated with the Hamlet of Eagle has occurred on both sides of Graham Road. No intensive livestock operations or other potentially incompatible uses have been identified in the vicinity of the proposed lot. 2. Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and Official Plan in prime agricultural areas, the creation of a lot for the purpose of disposing a residence surplus to a farming operation is permitted by the PPS. A surplus residence is defined as an existing farm residence that is rendered Elizabeth Wojcik Proposed Severance Municipality of West Elgin November 22, 2010 page 2 surplus a result of farm consolidation. Farm consolidation is defined by the PPS as: the acquisition of additional farm parcels to be operated as one farm operation; in this instance, the dwelling on the lands being conveyed is considered surplus to the needs of the proposed purchasers, Hollanada Farms Ltd. As Hollanada Farms owns a number of agricultural parcels in West Elgin, the disposal of the surplus dwelling would be consistent with the PPS; the PPS requires that residential dwellings are prohibited on any vacant remnant parcel of farmland created by the severance. Such a restriction is appropriately addressed as a condition of consent, if granted, through the application of a 'site- specific' zoning consistent with past practice in the Municipality. In this instance, however, a dwelling already exists on the balance of the farm (i.e. lands being conveyed to I-folllanada Farms Ltd.) and such a restriction would, therefore, take the form of limiting the number of dwellings on the parcel to a maximum of one. The application would be consistent with the PPS; the subject lands are designated 'Agricultural' in the Township of Aldborough Official Plan. A portion of the farm lying adjacent to a watercourse are designated 'Hazard Lands'. The creation of residential lots to dispose surplus farm dwellings is permitted provided: a) the dwelling was in existence prior to adoption of the Plan; b) it is not practical or feasible to relocate the dwelling to an existing vacant lot; c) the dwelling is structurally sound and suitable for human occupancy; d) the remainder of the farm is zoned to prohibit a dwelling (Section 2.1.15). #0008/1976 the abovenoted criteria are satisfied or are capable of being satisfied as addressed elsewhere in this report. The dwelling was erected circa 1930, well before the introduction of planning controls in the Municipality. The owner, Elizabeth Wojcik, has indicated that the dwelling is structurally sound and, in fact, will continue to reside in it; other criteria to be satisfied include compatibility with surrounding lands use, availability of water supply, suitability of the lot for on -site sanitary waste disposal, access and compliance with the Zoning By -law. The lands being conveyed have an existing entrance to Talbot Road (County Road No. 3). Access to the lands being retained is available from an existing entrance on Graham Road (County Road No. 76) and no additional entrances are required or proposed. With respect to sanitary waste disposal, confirmation will be required to Elizabeth Wojcik Proposed Severance Municipality of West Elgin November 22, 2010 page 3 #0008/1976 ensure that the existing septic tank and tile field system are wholly contained on the proposed lot. This matter is appropriately addressed as a condition of consent, if granted; conformity with the Official Plan of the Township of Aldborough appears capable of being maintained; the size of the proposed lot, at 2.5 hectares (6.3 acres), is large for rural residential purposes although justifiable under the circumstances. The proposed lot boundaries are determined by the location of the dwelling at the southerly end of the parcel and sanitary waste disposal system serving the dwelling. The loss of agricultural land is not an issue in this instance insofar as the proposed lot is occupied extensively by woodlands /wetlands. 3. Zoning By -law the subject lands are zoned Agricultural (Al). The proposed residential lot (i.e. lands being retained) would require a re- zoning to Special Agricultural (A2) given its use and size. The lot would satisfy the minimum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirements (4,000 sq m and 50 m respectively) of the A2 zone but would exceed the maximum lot area requirement of 1.0 hectares. A 'site- specific' (i.e. A24) zoning would be required to recognize this deficiency; the lands being conveyed would satisfy the minimum lot area and lot frontage requirements (19 ha and 150 m respectively) of the Al zone. A re- zoning to `site- specific' Agricultural (A14) would be required to restrict the maximum number of dwellings to one as stipulated by the Official Plan. 4. Conclusions the proposed severance would represent a type of lot creation which is both contemplated and permitted by the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and the Township of Aldborough Official Plan. The Official Plan provides for the creation of lots occupied by dwellings considered surplus to the farm operation and suitable for habitation. The balance of the farm would ultimately be acquired by a bonafide farm operation seeking to expand its land holdings. 5. Recommendation Elizabeth Wojcik Proposed Severance Municipality of West Elgin November 22, 2010 page 4 That the proposed application for consent be supported (based on the lands being first transferred in title to Hollanada Farms Ltd.) subject to the following conditions and, upon receipt of an Application for Consent in the name of Hollanada Farms Ltd., the Elgin Land Division Committee be advised accordingly: i) That the requirements of the Municipality, if any, are satisfied with respect to the existing on -site sanitary waste disposal system serving the dwelling on the lands being retained; ii) That the lands being retained be re -zoned to 'site- specific' Special Agricultural (A2 to permit their size and use for residential purposes, and which exceeds the maximum lot area requirement of 1.0 ha; iii) That the lands being conveyed be re -zoned 'site- specific' Agricultural (A1 to restrict the number of dwellings situated thereon to a maximum of one. REASONS i) The severance is 'consistent with' the Provincial Policy Statement; ii) Conformity with the Official Plan of the Township of Aldborough would be maintained; iii) The requirements of the Township of Aldborough Zoning By -law are capable of being satisfied; iv) The matters set out in the Planning Act would be satisfied; v) A legitimate surplus dwelling scenario would appear to exist.

You will note that the lands to be severed are highlighted in yellow and the lands to be retained are highlighted in green. As we discussed, the severed lands will be conveyed to a farming corporation, Holandia Farms as part of its farm holdings after consent for severance is granted. The lands proposed to be severed and conveyed have an area of 72.13 acres, with a frontage of 486.11 feet on Talbot Road and a depth of 3074.28 feet to the South and 2401.08 feet to the North. The lands contain a house, a barn, a chicken coop and a stable, and have an extensive clearing for agricultural purposes. The registered owner intends to convey these lands to Holandia Farms, a farming operation. The lands proposed to be retained have an area of 6.27 acres, with a depth of 504.9 feet and a frontage of 541.2 feet. The parcel is occupied by a single unit dwelling and a shed, and also consists of bush and wet lands. No change in use is proposed and the owner intends to continue to reside in the dwelling in the foreseeable future. I trust that the above noted information is sufficient. However should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the writer. I understand that if this application is submitted for approval prior to the 17 I should be able to consult with council on the 25 of November, 2010.

And Whereas the majority of Municipalities neither have these sorts of vehicles in their fleets nor have easy access to them; And Whereas special training is required to drive these vehicles due to the difference in hook up's turning radius, etc. which adds cost to municipalities; Therefore Be it Resolved That the Council for the Corporation of the Township of East Ferris petition the Minister of Transportation to reconsider the strict wording for the AZ License, and look at providing municipalities the ability to operate under the AZ with Restrictions License; And Further That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Ontario Good Roads Association and to all the municipalities.

For many residents of Lambton County, this change has increased the cost of Hydro well beyond their ability to pay. Should the consumption of electricity continue to be subject to the HST, Council believes the poor, disadvantaged and retired residents of this County will soon be left with no choice but to leave their homes, default on their Hydro payments or both. Therefore, please be informed that at its meeting held on Wednesday, October 6, 2010, Lambton County Council passed the following resolution endorsing and supporting the motion passed by Sarnia City Council regarding the HST on Hydro Bills as follows: #14: Boushy /Napper: a) That Lambton County Council endorse and support the motion adopted by Sarnia City Council on Monday, October 4, 2010. b) That Lambton County Council petition the Premier of Ontario to lift the application of HST on Hydro Bills as the HST is placing an undue financial burden on the citizens of Lambton County.
